THAT ONE IDEA.

The ants threaten new party to
unto ON the one principle of "thc
survival Of the liquor traffic" Their
leaders declare wrong, unconstitu-
tional and undemocratic the pistol
law, the Sunday law, the public free
school law. the local option law, State
prohibition-all in the face of de-
cisions of the supreme courts Of States
and the United States, that each and
all are right and necessary to the pro-
lection of the liberties of the people,
the promotion of morality and adj
vancement of society. These ants,
however, all agree that the liquor
traffic is right, democratic and consti-
tutional, hence the necessity OF
the new party they planned
and declared for at the Fort
Worth meeting, a party which
shall have for its one main purpose the
perpetuation of the liquor traffic.
Does this, alone not prove to any good
| man heretofore doubling, the necessi-
ty for Gripping this gigantic and grow
| ing power for evil now while it is in
the power of the people to check
its growth? See what an influence 1t
exerts on the body polite ofour coun-
try-when enlisted in its service to do
its bidding at the sacrifice of every
other political principle. some OF the
leading minds Of our state, men who
aside from the influence of this willy
monster stard as the peers ofany men,
and for whom honor and respect from
their fellowmen is not limited to their
own state. But here they stand, con-
demning as wrong, undemocratic ana
unconstitutional, some of the very
best laws of the land, laws which do
more to protect men in the enjoyment
of the liberties vouchsafed by the
the laws of God and country,
more for the good Of So
ciety, the happiness and material
prosperity of our people than all 9TH
or laws combined and loo OH the
same grounds opposed to this proposed
constitutional law which is still better
than them all. Can there be a stron'
ger, palmer evidence of the power OF
liquor traflic-to gain the influence Of
such men as these ? Is is not time ii
was checked, crippled, killed? People
of Texas have it in their power to stay
the growing evil by the proper use
their ballot tomorrow.

Great Mystery Solved.

Here recently there have been lots
of residences decorated with exquis-
lite designs of furniture and household
goods of the latest styles, and there
have been many inquiries where those
elegant goods came from. why, the

AT THE POLLS EARLY.

The HERALD learns that the anu
prohibitionists have arranged Tor u
heavy anti vote early in the morning
all over the the State that the 1irst
two or three hourly counts PROVIDED
for under the new law will show the
ants in the lead. Should this be the
case, it is their purpose to telegraph 1t
from town to town for its effect on the
few wavering minds, and The other
few who are influenced to go with the
majority as they may suppose. This
is one of the familiar tricks ofpoliti-
cians but the HERALD has warned
the people time and again to put little
confidence in any report emenating
from that side, which would be calcu-
lated, if true, to hurt the prohibition
cause. The law, while providing for
hourly counts, very positively forbids
the judges or clerks making known
the result of any count until the close
of the polls.
Tomorrow Is sure to bring forth
big stories intended to weaken the pro
strength, and too late to be corrected

THE Morning News says the anti
men, if beaten could never consent,
actively or passively, to aid in the en-
actment of laws such as have been
found necessary in states to enforce
the prohibition amendment; hence
a struggle would occur for the control
of the legislature. The ants never
acquiescc in any law or ruling which
does rot suit them. They violate
every law which they find i'll
tcrferes with or tends to restrict their
business. They are not expected to
submit to the will of the people until
forced by the strong arm of law and
public sentiment; hence the need OF
this prohibition law in our constitu-
ton where they will be bound to
obey it.

A QUESTION OF FACT.

The "this we know to be Il fact

known facts are to be disposed Of
in this loose and careless manner.
and arc to vanish into airy moth
ings, why it will behoovc the peo-
pie of Madison to be on their guard,
and so avoid being led into serious
political mistakes.
In the issue of Dec. DID, the
H.m proposes to meet in general
convention (fo- political purposes
and "pledges the support OF every
man on our side" TO the man who
receives the most votes at the SAID
convention. As was observed be-
fore by the TIMES, this raises the
question who Is to decide who gets
the most votes, and the question is
simply question of fact. Another
question of fact thrusts itself into
the matter, and that is can the
Item make good lis pledges Of sup
port of "every man on our side. "
In other words, can it deliver the
goods ? Up to date that journal
has been unfortunate in its state
ments of facts. The stock of facts
kept were so old that they were
found on inspection to be shelf
worn, nay actually thread bare,
fiimsv, and until ii can give out for
general use a more substantial ar
ticle, it can hardly be expected
that there should be any mad rush
for its goods, or ony enthusiastic
reception Of its propositions. You
can't take fact and play thimble-
rig with it, with any marked sue
cess. 1t is not an article of the
now you see it, and now you don't,
order. 1t is something that is
there to stay, and can't be choked
off. Trot out a few new samples,

The heaviest burden that bears up

TALLULAH, Jan. THE Russell

THE MAILS.

There is the same old story to
relate in regard to the mails.
They are not only irregular but
are uncertain. The latest per-
Torrance is trick the Issaquena
mail boat has of taking the mail
for Milliken's Bend from Ficks-
burg to GreeDvillc, Miss, and
bringing it back again to Milf
kcn's Bend. This has been done
and it is not at all unlikely that
the mail for Miliiken's Bend has
taken two round trips on the Is
saquena before being delivered.
Mail has left Tallulah via Vicks-
burg for Milliken's Bend and been
received q week after it was mail
ed. 1t is possible that it may
have been knocking around the
Wick sburg Office all that time,
hut il is not all likely. There is
some wretchedly bad management
somewhere, and the city dailies
interested in this section ahould
take the matter up and help us to
get a good mail service. There
will be more said on this subject
by the TINES.

nation before us. Our policy has
been to find bills only in those eases
where there was reasonable chance

evidenced that only expense could
result from the prosecution. We
have also carefully inquired into the
